I don't think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone
People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.
I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don't really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.
For real. You can tell how good a programmer someone is, by how good they think an LLM is at programming.
I use it to bounce ideas around with or get it to direct me in the right direction if I am stumped for further research, but it will be a cold day in Hell before I have it write more than the most gruntiest of grunt boilerplate code. It just can't do it to a useful standard without a lot of oversight.
